Here’s a chart for Amount to Grow for family of five of various veggies. Basically for a tractor garden and row length needed ranges from 10 to 1,000 feet. Might be handy in these times we live in. Can be reduced down to one person or even less. Tells you how much of each veggie is produced per 100 foot row which is handy. Some of those units are in bushels. Row spacing is listed for a tractor.

Very nice! Thank you!

I, however, convert everything to a bushel or a peck.

(Just kidding!)

Are you familiar with John Jeavons and his books and ways of doing things? He’s into charts and graphs and planning things out, too.

I met him ages ago when I worked for Seed Savers - he was doing a book signing. I remember him being very ‘spritely’ for an ‘old guy’ and he had a brand new baby and VERY young wife with him, too. Yikes! I politely asked someone who knew, and that was NOT his daughter and grandchild, LOL! Either gardening keeps you young, or those interns ARE irresistible. *WINK*
